Macaroni Chicken Soup

It has been a while since I had a bowl of macaroni soup. So I decided to make this simple dish last Friday for dinner. Coincidentally, Ramadan is just around the corner and I have been cracking my brains to list down dishes that I can prepare for iftar, so this will be in my list :)

The soup is my mom's simple chicken soup. So easy to make yet tasty. Great for children or for the sick.

Method1. Fried sliced shallots till brown and keep both the oil and fried shallots2. Blend garlic and ginger into paste3. Boil water and once it starts to bubble, add garlic/ginger paste and ground pepper4. Add chicken pieces and let the soup boil for about 20 minutes5. Add chinese parsley, carrots and potatoes and continue to simmer till they are cooked6. Once the soup is done, take chicken pieces out and shred the chicken meat7. Put cooked macaroni into a bowl or plate, pour soup over the macaroni8. Sprinkle shredded meat, fried shallots with its oil and chinese parsley onto the macaroni9. Squeeze some lime juice and serve hot
